| Bud Olson |
Bud Olson is retired from the Sierra Unified School District and now serves as one of the District Trustees. He was an 8th grade
history teacher at Foothill Middle School in the this District in Fresno County. He attended Sierra
High and Fresno State University, finishing with a BA and MA
in history. After teaching at Reedley High for three years,
he has taught 30 more years in the mountain area. Growing up
in the mountains, he had many contacts with the old
families, enabling him to have access to many pictures and
old stories. Once he was hooked by preserving the history of
our community, he has worked many years to collect the
pictures in this collection. Under his guidence and direction the Eastern Fresno County Historical Society has worked to provide an excellent and informative Museum on the campus of Sierra High School.
| Bud is the President of
the Eastern Fresno County Historical Society, a group of
people dedicated to saving the past of our area. They have
acquired a site from the Sierra Unified School District and
are busily assembling buildings and artifacts for the
community to see.
Foothill Middle School
8th graders are currently being taught a unit of Local
History each year using many of the pictures in this
collection. The hope is that this collection and the efforts of
Bud Olson, and the history society, will
bring more interest to the past history of our
mountains.
